The NetHack Index

                 
And now the souls of the dead who had gone below came swarming up from Erebus -- fresh brides, unmarried youths, old men with life's long suffering behind them, tender young girls still nursing this first anguish in their hearts, and a great throng of warriors killed in battle, their spear-wounds gaping yet and all their armour stained with blood. From this multitude of souls, as they fluttered to and fro by the trench, there came a moaning that was horrible to hear. Panic drained the blood from my cheeks.
The Odyssey, (chapter Lambda), by Homer
(Entry on 'ghost' in the NetHack database)
                

Nethack is a so-called roguelike game which has the simplicity of a deux chevaux, yet a depth unseen in many other games. Indeed, it includes everything up to and including the kitchen sink.

On this page I try to include every source of information on NetHack I've found useful. This does not include pages in a language I don't understand (there is, for example, a large Japanese speaking NetHack community on the internet,) nor does it include pages that don't contain original material, but only have links to other resources (so my own page is not listed.) I tried to include every page that has anything of its own.

If you don't know roguelike games yet, I advise you to browse the Reviews to get an impression of roguelike games in general and NetHack in particular. Most other links on this page presume at least player's knowledge of the game.

This page does include links to information on direct predecessors and descendants of NetHack. That means you can also find information on Hack, SLASH and SLASH'EM. I do not list links to pages about Rogue, Angband or other roguelike games. For me, the NetHack family tree begins with Hack. If you want a more complete overview of roguelike games, I suggest you take a look at BALROG.

Main sites

The official NetHack sites.

The Official NetHack site -- The DevTeam Main sites
Edited on March 28, 2003.
         The official site for NetHack, although there are many other places where you can get a version of the game. This one is where the DevTeam itself makes NetHack available to the public. Here you can find old versions, the most recent version, and all known bugs in recent versions of NetHack. Should you discover anything odd, consult these before sending mail to the DevTeam.
The DevTeam can be reached at devteam@nethack.org.

The newsgroup: rec.games.roguelike.nethack Main sites
Edited on July 26, 2002.
         A newsgroup dedicated to this game, which has a reasonably low volume (less than a hundred articles a day) and a lot of involved discussion about strategy, wishes for new versions and questions with answers. Dylan O'Donnell maintains a FAQ at http://www.spod-central.org/~psmith/nh/rgrn-FAQ.txt that is also posted bi-weekly.

NetHack 3.4 Spoilers -- Dylan O'Donnell Information sites
Edited on March 28, 2003.
         Dylan O'Donnell has updated Kevin Hugo's spoilers to NetHack 3.4, and has written some more himself. He has also written a Gazetteer of NetHack, and a detailed bibliography of the NetHack Database. Dylan also maintains the FAQ for the newsgroup.

The NetHack Home Page -- Boudewijn Waijers Information sites, Downloads and variants, Utilities
Edited on March 28, 2003.
         Part of Boudewijn Waijer's roguelike pages. It contains tips and spoilers, sources and binaries of many versions, including the older versions of Hack, and many utilities for different platforms. Still one of the most complete NetHack sites around, albeit a bit dated now.

Sascha's and Ralph's NetHack Site -- Sascha Wostmann and Ralph Geissler Information sites, Downloads and variants, Utilities
Edited on April 1, 2003.
         This site is made by Sascha Wostmann and Ralph Geissler; Here you can find a collection of spoilers grabbed from the newsgroup, utility programs, a bones files repository and the NetHack Contest, where different NetHackers can play in the same dungeon. The site is a little biased towards the PC versions of NetHack. There is also some information on SLASH and SLASH'EM available here.

NetHack -- Mikko Saari Information sites
Edited on September 20, 2002.
         Mikko Saari wrote the Absolute Beginner's guide for NetHack. This guide contains a lot of information you need in the beginning of the game. It is meant to help a newbie through those frustrating first few games. Also on his site are collected funny posts from rec.games.roguelike.nethack.

Maniac's Ascension Guide -- Mark Johnson Information sites
Contributed by Dion. Edited on November 14, 2002.
         Mark has written a detailed strategy guide that describes general strategy, but also strategies for specific parts of the game. This probably is as close to a walkthrough you can get.

Yet Another NetHack Site -- Kate Nepveu Information sites
Edited on July 29, 2002.
         On Kate's spoiler site you can find HTML versions of the spoilers from Dylan's site; but there are also some spoilers that were only posted on rec.games.roguelike.nethack that are not available elsewhere. Furthermore, her site is searchable, which might help in finding a particularly esoteric feature.

Ali's NetHack page -- J. Ali Harlow Information sites, Patches
Edited on June 30, 2003.
         Ali is the maintainer of the Unix version of SLASH'EM, and also hosts some spoilers about it. But his site has lots of NetHack information, too: including a very comprehensive monster manual that describes every monster in NetHack in detail; a copy of 'NetHack - The Next Generation', a variant of NetHack 3.1.3 with a geek character added; and a cross-referenced version of the source code. Furthermore, there are links to lots of information sites and to almost all patches in existence here; and Ali saved copies of the famous Wizard Patch and Josh Fishman's version thereof. Another patch that could have been lost to mankind is the Dwarf Patch, also available here.

NetHack -- Kamen Kirilov Information sites
         On this page, you can find a small collection of bones files for NetHack, and some ascension stories. Perhaps the most interesting thing is a page with tips for Tourists, on how to survive early in the game with that class.

Doctor Kildeer's Guide to NetHack -- J. Meeks Information sites
         Dr. Kildeer's site contains a massive amount of information on NetHack that seems to be gathered mainly by playing the game instead of decyphering source files or reading rec.games.roguelike.nethack. The information is therefore not as complete and correct as some of the main sites, but is fun reading and covers some area's not present elsewhere. This site is no longer maintained.

Roguelike Review -- Travis Emmitt Information sites, Reviews
Edited on September 24, 2002.
         A comprehensive comparison of a large number of Roguelike games, including NetHack, is presented here. With it comes "Trav's shoplifting primer", mainly written to show NetHack's depth, but a nice collection of hints or spoilers in its own right.

The Minetown Digger -- Curly++ Information sites
Edited on July 29, 2002.
         The Minetown in the Gnomish Mines now has its own newspaper. It has everything you should expect: cover stories, ads and editorials, but as such, it contains a lot of useful information on the game. Go there and have a good time reading. The site is no longer updated.

Eva Myers's Home Page -- Eva Myers Information sites, Utilities
Edited on September 24, 2002.
         Eva has written a couple of pages with information about NetHack and SLASH'EM, among others a list of differences between the two. She also wrote (and hosts) a categorised list of NetHack Spoilers, which might help a lot in finding a particular piece of information. On this site, you can also find an updated version of nhk, a Perl program that shows you how the enemy is doing: it compiles a list of high scores for monsters from your logfile.

The Nethack Incubus and Succubus FAQ -- Ray Chason Information sites
         Ray Chason, also known as Lee Jackson Beauregard, has written a small spoiler on how to get the most out of an encounter with an incubus or succubus. This is available on Sascha's and Ralph's site, but by mistake has also found its way into Games Domain's official FAQ directory. It still is an interesting spoiler, though.

SPOIL: An Automatic NetHack Spoiler Generator -- Cristan Szmajda Information sites, Patches
Edited on September 24, 2002.
         Cristan wrote a program that generates spoiler tables directly from the NetHack sources, by replacing NetHack's main(). This allows hime to generate spoilers for different versions of NetHack, several of which he has on his site. There also is a map of the dungeon and a graph of NetHack 3.2 spell casting probabilities here.

         Although it is anounced that this site will disappear for years already, it is still there. This is the place where the NetHack code was first explained, some sort of geek code for NetHack players by Raisse the Thaumaturge (Irina Rempt) and others. Although version 1.1 is still there, you might want to take a look at the NetHack Code site for newer versions.

He also wrote another http://www14.in.tum.de/personen/friedetzky/nh330-dump.patch (with a detailed http://www14.in.tum.de/personen/friedetzky/nh330-dump.README) that allows you to dump character information to a file at the end of a game.

Fly's Homepage - NetHack -- Fly Information sites
         Although this page is in Hungarian, it has a nice HTML version of the WCST spoilers for NetHack 3.0. Although these spoilers are now largely obsolete, they still form one of the few coherent guides to NetHack, and thus are fun to read.

Downloads and variants

In this category you find versions of NetHack apart from the official binaries and the variants of NetHack that are still available today. It also contains links to hints and spoilers for these versions, as far as they exist.
Patches to create your own version of Nethack are in the patches category, since they are only useful for people who can compile NetHack themselves.

The NetHack 2000 Project -- Aoki Yukihiko Downloads and variants
Edited on September 24, 2002.
         Aoki Yukihiko has created a version of NetHack 3.2.2 for MS-Windows95/98/NT, using 32x32 pixel tiles made by Mitsuhiro Itakura. There seems to be a problem with DNSs when you use the name of the site to link to, http://www1.vc-net.or.jp/~newpohl/nethack/, so I used the IP address. (Thanks to J. Ali Harlow.)

Falcon's Eye comes in versions for DOS, Windows and Linux.

NetHack is there for the 5MX, NetBook/Series 7 and the Revo and friends; it includes colour support, too.

Patches

For anyone who has a compiler and some version of 'patch', their are patches for NetHack available on the web. In this category you can find links to them.

The Boulder Patch -- D. Stage Patches
Edited on April 17, 2003.
         D. Stage wrote the Boulder Patch and made it available on rec.games.roguelike.nethack. It makes wands of digging destroy boulders, since some people believe it is a bug that this doesn't happen in the standard game. Other people disagree, of course... Decide for yourself; a copy of the Boulder Patch is available on my site.

Edited on November 11, 2002.

He also wrote a new level compiler and added some new types of rooms to the game. New patches appear often, so check his page!

Miks Lethe Patch -- Michael Clarke Patches
Contributed by Dion. Edited on August 23, 2004.
         Similar to the Hell Patch, the Lethe Patch tries to make Gehennom less boring. It adds the fabled river Lethe and a number of monsters from the Cthulhu Mythos to NetHack, and adds items, monster behaviours and a lot of new or redecorated levels. Here you can find the patch and an MS-DOS executable.

The Wizard Patch -- Larry Stewart-Zerba Patches
Edited on June 30, 2003.
         Larry Stewart-Zerba is the author of the famous Wizard Patch, with which a proficiency system similar to that for weapons is applied to spellcasting. This system is incorporated in NetHack since version 3.3.0. The latest version of the Wizard Patch as such is 1.0, and it is available on Ali's NetHack Page to which the link above now points.

NetHack Patches -- Jim Crawford Patches
         On this page you can find a patch for NetHack 3.3.0 and 3.3.1 that adds highlighting to the status line. It will turn all important things (weak from hunger, low on hitpoints) orange to attract more attention to it. Furthermore, the famous Pizza Delivery Patch for 3.3.0 can be found here.

Nethack modifications and utilities -- Jukka Lahtinen Patches, Utilities
Edited on September 24, 2002.
         Jukka Lahtinen has written two utilities for NetHack users, reclist and mergrec, both of which come with source and DOS and OS/2 executables. reclist allows you to see the score file much like nethack -s does. mergrec lets you merge different score files from game versions 3.2.0-3.3.0.
Furthermore, a whole list of patches is available from this site, among which are a patch by Trebor A. Rude to have objects in a container merge together as they do in you main inventory and the Extinction Patch by Wingnut, that shows extinct species at the end of the game.

GTK+ NetHack -- Issei Numata Patches
         Apart from a Japanese version of NetHack 3.2.2, featuring a new character, the JNetHack page also has a version of NetHack 3.2 running under GTK+. This is a patch, so you need the NetHack 3.2.2 sources and a copy of the GTK+ library; but if you can compile it, you get pseudo-3D tiles (or at least 32x32 tiles,) and a 'radar' window!

NetHack-related stuff -- Scott Bigham Patches

Easy-jumping patch -- Wingnut Patches
Edited on September 24, 2002.
         This patch was posted on rec.games.roguelike.nethack by Wingnut on 20/01/2000; it extends the #jump command so it casts the jump spell if you know it. This is a text version with human-readable instructions, as was the original post.

David Damerell -- David Damerell Patches
         When I complained loudly on rec.games.roguelike.nethack about a game lost by quaffing from a fountain with Caps Lock on, David Damerell wrote The Paranoia Patch. If you apply this patch to a vanilla 3.2.2 source tree, it alters the game such that you can specify "paranoid_quit" in your options. Quitting and entering Explore mode then asks you to type "yes", not just the letter "y". The Paranoia Patch is also ported to NetHack 3.3.0, although quitting now is done with other keys. Additionally, the sources for SLASH'EM (a ZIPfile for the DOS source and a .tar.gz of the source tweaked for Linux compiles) are mirrored here.

Roderick Schertler's Nethack stuff -- Roderick Schertler Patches, Utilities
Contributed by Dion. Edited on March 31, 2003.
         Roderick Schertler wrote a Hearse client for Unix. It is written in Perl, so it could work on other platforms as well. He also wrote some patches (the pickup_thrown patch among others.) He also created Patchable Nethack, which is a version of the source code that makes it easier for patch and diff to solve conflicts between patches.

Nethack Patches -- Nick Webb Patches
Contributed by Dion. Edited on December 1, 2003.
         Nick Webb, who is also responsible for some NetHack artwork (see his sketches and images gallery), wrote the Biodiversity Patch, which adds many new monsters to NetHack. The idea is to have at least three monsters in every class. Some miscellaneous changes include more tree types, level compiler changes and engravings in light.

Contributed by Dion. Edited on December 12, 2003.
         Andre wrote a couple of patches, among which the whips patch, which adds some more whips to NetHack, and the Bard's patch, which adds a bard character to the game. The bard is quite different in that he needs musical instruments to perform magic.
Furthermore you can find here a patch that enhance Monk's martial arts, and a Wizard's staff patch that adds a new weapon.
Also on this site is another NetHack Movie.
